Each zoning district in this Ordinance contains certain designated permitted uses available as a matter of right with no approval necessary from the Commission or the Town. Some of the zoning districts also contain certain conditional uses, neither absolutely permitted as right nor prohibited by law, which are compatible within the zoning district. They are privileges, in a sense, which must be applied for and approved by the Commission and the Town. The purpose of the Conditional Use Permit is to enable the Town to exercise some measure of control over the extent of certain activities which, although desirable in limited numbers, could have a detrimental effect within the district if they are permitted in large numbers.

A Conditional Use Permit is an authorization which allows a landowner to use his property in a manner compatible with the zoning district in which it is located provided he demonstrates compliance with all standards and criteria enumerated in this Ordinance and specified by the Commission and the Town.

Unless otherwise specified, a Conditional Use Permit creates a vested right that runs with the land and does not terminate when the property is sold. A new owner succeeds to the benefits enjoyed by the former owner under the Conditional Use Permit issued to him; however, the successor in interest is subject to the limitations specified in the Conditional Use Permit and can assert no greater rights therein than those formerly granted. A Conditional Use Permit shall become void one (1) year after it was granted unless use is made thereof within the one (1) year time period.

When acting upon Conditional Use Permits, the Commission and the Town shall be guided by the provisions of GTC 31.05.010 and GTC 31.05.020. In addition, the Commission or Town shall require satisfactory evidence that:

1. the owner of record or contract purchaser has signed the application;
2. granting the Conditional Use Permit will not contribute to an overburdening of town services;
3. granting the Conditional Use Permit will not cause undue traffic, parking, population density or environmental problems;
4. granting the Conditional Use Permit will not impair the sue of adjacent property or alter the character of the neighborhood or adversely affect adjacent property values; and
5. granting the Conditional Use Permit will not detrimentally affect the public health safety and welfare or nullify the intent of the Master Plan of this Ordinance.

1. A Conditional Use Permit may be approved or granted upon receipt of a petition from fifty-one percent (51%) of the people owning fifty-one percent (51%) of the property located within 150 ft. of the proposed conditional use site supporting the granting of the Conditional Use Permit. In determining the 150 ft., the width of any intervening dedicated public or private right-of-way shall not be included.
2. If the applicant is unable to obtain the signatures of fifty-one percent (51%) of the people on a petition supporting the proposed Conditional Use Permit, then the Conditional Use Permit may only be issued upon the affirmative vote of three-fourths (3/4) of all members of the Governing Body.

1. Application: An application for a Conditional Use Permit must be submitted to the Commission on an application form provided by the Planning Office, signed by the owner and applicant and must be accompanied by a site plan. Said application must contain the names and mailing addresses of all adjacent property owners.
2.

Failure to notify every property owner due to clerical oversight or failure of mail delivery shall not affect the validity of the meeting nor the decision of the Commission.
5. Commission Meeting: The Planning Office shall prepare a recommendation on the application for the Commission which shall be made available to the applicant if requested. The Commission shall hear and consider evidence and argument on the application from any person present at the meeting who desires to be heard and may also considered written communication from any person regarding the application.
6. Action by the Commission: After receiving the evidence and argument presented, the Commission shall approve the application as submitted, approve the application subject to such modifications or conditions it deems necessary, table the application to a date specified or deny the application. The recommendations of the Commission shall be forwarded to the Mayor and Council.
7. Notice of Action: Within three (3) working days following the decision by the Commission on the application, the Planning Office will notify the applicant of the Commission’s action.
8. Consideration by the Mayor and Council: Upon receipt of the Commission’s recommendation, the Mayor and Council shall, after legal notice of not less than ten (10) days, hold a public hearing on said application. At this time, the Commission’s recommendations shall be read and additional testimony may be taken from interested parties. The Mayor and Council shall either approve or deny the application within thirty (30) days after the public hearing. If the application is denied, written reason for the denial shall be given.
9. Enforcement: The Zoning Officer may periodically review all Conditional Use Permits, except those for which all conditions have been permanently satisfied. He has the power to inspect the land and/or structures where any conditional use is located in order to determine if the landowner is complying with the conditions of the Conditional Use Permit.
10. If the landowner is not complying with all of the conditions, the Town may revoke the Conditional Use Permit and take such legal action it determines necessary to cause the termination of the activity on the land for which the Conditional Use Permit was authorized.
11. Once a Conditional Use Permit has been granted by the Town and all conditions required are completed, the Zoning Officer may make a determination that the conditions have been satisfied and record this information in the file. Thereafter, if the landowner continues to meeting the conditions, the conditional use will be considered permanent.
